Freckles, Eyelashes, Pizza and Snot

They got them from me. When I was little, my mom told me I got my freckles from Uncle John. She said, "They just came over to live on your nose for awhile." I always pictured my freckles having little suitcases and trunks full of their stuff. I wondered what their names were and whether they were homesick. I still think about it once a week or so, my childhood freckles’ imaginary, miniature suitcases. It’s usually when I’m doing dishes at night, but only if I’m washing pots and pans. Don’t ask me why. Brain synapses are a mysterious thing.

And here are the eyelashes. I hope you can see them through the pizza and the snot.

Oh, sweet love of Mike. I laughed so hard at the snot story that I nearly choked on a poppyseed muffin. We all have disgusting snot stories, but I think this is one of the best….

Beautiful children! I love the close ups!

Yep. This settles it! From now on, I’ll have breakfast BEFORE checking out your blog. Usually, I read thru others’ & save yours, “the BEST”, for last. Now, I’ll have breakfast, check out the others’ & THEN drop by here. By that time breakfast should’ve settled….LOL! Your kids are absolutely adorable, snot & all!!

My grandmother always called my freckles “sun kisses.”

Freckles: Cute, cute, cute!!! Freckles took up residence on my nose for a while too – and now they’ve set up housekeeping on my second child’s nose.Eyelashes: Why do the boys always get them? (Please tell me that’s a picture of one of your sons.)Snot: (*dry heave*) No comment.

I guess boys get the long eyelashes because God knew girls were willing to wear mascara on a daily basis.Cute nostalgia about your childhood freckles-with-suitcases. For some reason, that sounds like a series of children’s books. Stop your bloggin’, get to writing! (On second thought, don’t stop your bloggin’).

I saw past the snot, past the pizza sauce, past the eyelashes, and past the freckles to gaze at beautiful blue and green eyes!!! lovely eyes.

Your children are beautiful as are your pictures. I was blessed (cursed) with freckles as a child. The freckles are gone now; maybe they have moved with their little suitcases to some unsuspecting tiny relative.Thanks for stopping for a visit; I love to read comments.

Life, or something like it

I love the snot story! You children are so beautiful. Those blue eyes! thanks for sharing.

Why is it that little boys are the ones with long eyelashes!??! Even my husband’s are longer and curlier than mine (he’d die if I told him that…). It’s simply unfair!🙂 Adorable kids!!!
